F1 2023 Testing Lineups – The F1 2023 Testing Lineups are in as the sport’s pre-season test begins today at the Bahrain International Circuit.
There are three days running across Thursday February 23 to Saturday February 25 with three morning and afternoon sessions each with cars hitting the track for eight-and-a-half hours each day – not withstanding any crashes or red flags that will happen.
The limited amount of testing sees drivers only running 1.5 days in their respective cars before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix – at the Sakhir circuit a week later from March 3-5.
19 of the regular drivers will take part including rookies Oscar Piastri (McLaren), Logan Sargeant (Williams) and Nyck de Vries (Scuderia AlphaTauri).
The only driver who is not in action is Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, who was injured in a cycling accident and will not be fit in time. He will be replaced by reserve and FIA Formula 2 World Champion Felipe Drugovich who will share the Mercedes-powered AMR23 with Fernando Alonso.
Here are the list of drivers for the three days of pre-season testing:
